Looking Up

Description

Things are looking up for Twyla, my formerly feral dog who has been, heretofore, too fearful for me to enter in agility trials. Last weekend, I took a chance and ran her in two classes at the Agile Dogs / Canine Performance Events trial in my home town. Twyla had never before been to the trial site but she pulled herself together for a perfect "Colors" run in under 30 seconds! I am bursting with pride as I look up to this brave and wonderful dog, a cattle dog/dachshund cross and the most skilled agility dog I've ever owned.
